Have you checked the kill switch yet? It's very easy to knock it into the off position. If you do, it kills the engine (hence the name) and maybe turns off the lights and other electrical stuff. When you've knocked the kill switch off and spent ten minutes scratching your head about why the bike is dead a few times, it becomes the first thing you look for.

Go out there and give it a couple of good kicks... Worked last time i saw this (on an RG150 after it had been dropped, no lights etc)

**steph88m** · 25th March 2009, 19:33

ok iv fiddled round, i still duno wat it is! all wires that i can see and stuff looks fine, omg i bet its something simple as, grrrrrrrrrr

the rgv doesnt need a battery to run. if you key on and nothing lights up it could still go if you crash start it. its quite easy to do so on that bike. the fact that nothing happens when you key on is weird, but could be co-incidental.

check the kill switch, which is the red switch on the right handlebar thats probably unlabled. its harder to start without the battery working, make sure you use the choke and keep the rev's up (assuming it starts at all)

man that was a really hard bike to fix, the flux capastor was mixed up with the power band (that had also snapped)

after I fixed those it still wouldnt start....

OR

it started first kick. Not even a hard one.
